We want to be under the sea

Six "aquanauts" are living with the fishes. No, not in the mafia sense. They're actually living with the fishes -- 60 feet below the surface.

The scientists are residing at the Aquarius Reef Base, on the Atlantic Ocean floor about nine miles southeast of Key Largo in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary for nine days. There they will study changes along a coral reef. AP Writer Adrian Sainz reports it's the first time students and others will get a full-time perspective underwater in the 21-year history of the lab.

You can watch the divers as they live and work in the yellow, 43-foot-long, 9-foot-diameter tube, roughly the size of a school bus.
